A tiresome job. A lonely life. A captivating tune. She tries to recollect. A father talks of his ham radio links with Russia. A girl listens to a song in a strange language imagining a future of happiness and glamour. The song. She opens her old box of childhood treasures…. The film in blending together a personal nostalgia with a technological and political nostalgia, refers to a time gone, a generation gone. It is also a meditation on music and Geetha’s salute to the Soviet influence on her generation.
